I found "The Campaign" with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifanakis incredibly funny and disturbing on multiple levels which was exactly what it is supposed to do to politics worldwide, not just here in the United States. Dan Ackroyd and John Lithgow
play not so veiled super contributor Billionaires (similar to the Koch Brothers) who manipulate politics with money in the U.S. and around the world. In this parody they are thinking that a Chinese factory and it's workers should be moved intact into a North Carolina town so they can pay the Chinese 50 cents an hour that they move here. Though this idea is farfetched it is truer to life than you might expect along with all aspects of the movie. So, the movie is a terrifyingly funny parody of real life.
This movie reminds me of the early Saturday Night Live parodies of politics with Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi and Gilda Radner and everyone of the originals that permanently changed the way a nation and the world thinks about politics.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
